Woke up this morning to a layer of ice on the outside of the windows, the snow turned to rain during the night which has become freezing rain, at least it proves the double glazing works!

Woke up this morning and it was cold, very cold and then I remembered I was in Canada. I understood, this is where people who are not successful go.

Where would you rather be?

spouse of scouse

Being from Australia I haven't seen snow before, so I'm loving it. Snowball fights with the neighbours and all that silly stuff

Scouse isn't loving it in the slightest, he went arse over tit yesterday.

Shard

Is it your first time in snow?

spouse of scouse

Yep. This is my third winter on the Wirral (Merseyside), prior to that I lived in Perth Western Australia. All the warnings there are about how not to die of heatstroke and how to avoid getting third degree burns from your vehicle's steering wheel.

G'day from WA

spouse of scouse

That's the one Heading back there at the end of the year, will arrive smack bang in the middle of summer.

Shard

Will that be a holiday? You will appreciate the searing heat after three years in Merseyside

spouse of scouse

No, returning permanently. Scouse hasn't settled here, me, I love it!

Shard

Wow! And spouse is Scouse, right! Anyway, I get where he's coming from.

spouse of scouse

Yep, he's from Liverpool. I think he's got a good dose of 'the curse of the expat' - he was looking forward to 'coming home' for years, but almost from the get go he wanted to go back to Oz. I can be happy in either country and I'm really looking forward to living near my family again, but oh boy I'm going to miss the cooler weather here.

Shard

I know that curse well. It's good that you had a positive experience in Britain, I remember you were positive before you came, and it seems to have worked out.
